Day 18: Second Day Off

Today was my second day off. I didn't do much but I did enjoy myself.

I got up at 7 (instead of 5), had breakfast, enjoyed the beautiful, warm weather for a little bit and put my laundry in the washer before catching up on a TV show I like. When I finished my show and went to get my laundry, the weather was still sunny but had turned windy and COLD. Ugh.

I offered to take two of the new girls (arrived the night before) our for a ride to show them around and because I wanted to go for a ride but it was COLD so I held the ride off until 2:30. In the meantime I watched TV and generally relaxed. It was nice.

2:30 rolled around and we went for the ride. It was nice to be out and doing some trotting and cantering (rather than the normal slow walk) but it was still very windy and cold so not ideal. We had a good time, though, and I got to know them. Then I went back to watching TV and having some alone time. After break down, Lauren and I decided to go out for Italian for dinner.

The dinner was ok but was really weird for Italian food. The menu was strange, the pasta overcooked and just generally weird. We came back and watched TV together with Jeff and Shelby.

Introductions:
Kelsey: wrangler; from Connecticut; English rider
Courtney: wrangler; from Massachusetts but goes to school in Utah; English and Western rider

NOTE: There are two girls that came today, one of which is a new roommate, but I don't know much about them so I'm waiting until tomorrow to introduce them.

ANOTHER NOTE: Lauren and I convinced Shelby to move into our room and be the fourth girl in here. We wanted her to live with us because we've been hanging out with her and know she's cool whereas we can't be sure a new girl will be. I'm glad she moved in. Not sure if I'm glad about the other girl but we'll see.

ANOTHER NOTE AS WELL: Kansas is making tomorrow my wrangler day this week because Kristin is going on an 8-hour on Thursday so he needs me to be in the office while she's on that ride. Normally she would take my place in the office when I'm out riding. So tomorrow I'll have another post! It snowed a little while we drove back from dinner so tomorrow is gonna be cold.
